W orkers in CLAY in school.

wish 10 say few words in regard TO the
molding of clay in the public schools of the
city. wonder if parents know the danger
that their children are subjected to by this
method: This clay is cut in small pieces and
given them TO moldinto any shape the teacher
may suggest: when they have finished that
operation those same bits Of clay are all put
together into one loaf for another day. This
same material is used week after week with
the accumulated dirt and perspiration Of
hundreds of little hands. Now, can any one
tell me what surer way there is of spreading
cutaneouS diseases among the pupils. such as
itch, salt rheum, etc! Now, this the small
children of the public schools of this city are
obliged TO do. If we have any sculptors in
embryo among Us let them be brought out in
some other way. l, for one, protest against
the method--Mother in Chicago Herald.

The Effects of MHsSn c-e.

fat, lazy man will get a good deal of
benefit ont Of hard rubbing and manipula-
ton. Jim Cusick, who was John e. Heenan's
old trainer once told me that he was firmly
convinced that the cures mentioned in the
Scriptures as having been made by the clay
ING on of hands" were really made by being
rubbed well by the hands Of good, strong
healthy men. All athletes who have trained
know the value OF such rubbing, for they de
pend on if TO harden and invigorate their
muscles. Massage consists OF exercising
sweating and rubbing the patron, and when
it is done by a competent person is very
beneficial. At the same time it is but an aid
to and not perfect substitute for voluntary
anG self performed exercise, because the mind
must aid the body in any work TO get the
best results. y man being ''massaged" is but
n passive agent in the hands of the manipu-
lator. When he does his own work his mind
is actively in sympathy with it, and the re-
suits are not only more quickly obtained but
are far more lasting. President Cleveland
is from forty 10 fifty pounds heavier than he
should be. Until that much lighter, every
pound of fat that he loses viii be to his
physical gain; but lie must not expect to
keep at his proper weight and retain his
health merely through submitting TO mas
sage. The best exercise he or any one of his
build can take is obtained by horseback
riding. As soon as be finds himself twenty
pounds lighter he should ride daily from ten
to twenty miles After his ride which
should be on n rough actioned horse, he
should be toweled and then hind rubbed
vigorously, and, if he is careful of his diet,
he can easily keep himself in good health
and at his normal weight.-Ncw York Sun

CALIFORNIA RANCH LIFE.
How the Women While Away the Tim
Not a Desirable Existence.

How the women While Away the Time.
Not Desirable Existence.
The women often show the wear and tear
Of their isolated positions, without compen-
sating social interests. more than do the men,
who are surrounded by men interested in the
same pursuits Love Of luxurious clothing
amounts TO a passion III the women or all
classes About their homes they go dressed
as elegantly as if in the fashionable streets of
San Francisco. This is the result of the wish
of husbands, sons and fathers for the visible
display of their wealth speedily shown. Too
hurried to build the good homes which they
need, all rushing along the heated race course
that leads to sudden wealth, they deck their
women as means OF establishing their claims
to social Importance, and to compensate them
for the real hardships Of their lonely lives
during much Of the time.
The religious, educational and moral tone
of the community is largely upheld by
women, and reverential bearing is adopted
toward them which is beautiful and very
gratifying, without doubt The immense size
of the ranches, however, tends TO isolation,
and the maddening mOnotony of the life Is
very trying to the moral stamina-one day Is

WOMAN'S TEARS.

The fountain of q woman's tears
Lies closer to her heart than mans
She lives by moments, he by years;
She pities where he looks askance.
First she to act the Christian part,
kcener to feel for grief and pain;
Perchance it is because her heart
Is less q stranger to her brain
Howbeit-'tis womanly to weep,
And her sweet, sudden tears "ft shame
Our better selves from torpid sleep
To win purer, nobler name.
Dear, tender tear-dimmed, woman eyes!
How oft your tender. plying tears
Have lifted from Us, garment-Ul5c,
The peut-up bitterness of y''&rs
How oft your tears in some dark day,
Down dropping, sweet as scented THYME
On or rough hearts, have kissed away
The stain Of some intended crime.
